Ten, born Chittaphon Leechaiyapornkul, is no new name in the entertainment industry. To date, the 28-year-old Thai singer, rapper and dancer has amassed a large global following as a member of the South Korean boy band NCT, along with several hit singles and a debut EP that was released in February this year.
Beyond his musical talents and dedication to his craft, Ten is also an influential figure within the sartorial space. His boyish charms and soft approach to his personal style have catapulted him into the fashion limelight, with his Instagram evidently displaying his playful yet individualistic sense of dressing. Ten’s presence at the Saint Laurent men’s fall/winter 2024 show in Paris in March confirmed his involvement as a global ambassador of the brand as he joined a star-studded lineup that includes BlackPink’s Rosé, EXO’s Kai and Hollywood actor Austin Butler.
Earlier this month, the artist made a trip to Singapore to grace the opening of the new Saint Laurent store in Paragon Orchard. A double-story retail space that boasts a sprawling marble interior, the new boutique houses the latest spring/summer 2024 offerings from the brand. The ground floor sees a vast selection of womenswear, while the top floor caters to menswear and home accessories, all displayed in a monochromatic colour palette that aligns with the roots of the Parisian house.
Arriving to a tow of screaming fans, Ten stunned at the opening event in a slinky silk top and matching tuxedo pants from the brand’s latest menswear collection. Equanimous and radiant as ever, he was also captured parading the streets around town in a sleeveless ensemble, checking out several of the city’s famous haunts while toting the house’s new signature Solferino Mini bag in smooth calfskin leather.
Below, take a closer look at the singer-dancer’s experience with Saint Laurent in the little red dot.
